A cyber threat map, also known as a cyber-attack map, is a real-time map of the computer security attacks that are going on at any given time.
An attack, via cyberspace, targets an enterprise’s use of cyberspace for the purpose of disrupting, disabling, destroying, or maliciously controlling a computing environment/infrastructure; or destroying the integrity of the data or stealing controlled information.
What is the use of threat map?
Cyber threat maps, also known as cyber attack maps, are real-time visual representations of cyber attacks happening around the world. There are several tactical benefits to using threat maps, and you may get valuable insights into your threat landscape if you know what to look for in these threat maps.
How does threat detection work?
TDR involves two key steps: detection and response. Threat detection encompasses monitoring networks, endpoints, applications, user activity and data to uncover indicators of compromise (IOCs) that could indicate malicious cyber-activity.
